[Koha] Barcodes and scanners

[Amber M Amland]

We have two Metrologic MS9500 Voyager barcode scanners (one in each library)
that we have been using for about three years.  They work well, and we've
been pleased.

Hi, Mark-

We use pre-printed 13 digit barcodes from ID Label. They cost us about
2.8 cents apiece. For barcode scanners we have had good luck with the
3800G kit from SSE Technologies (http://www.ssetechnologies.com/).
They cost about $175, but I can't speak to their longevity because we
haven't used them that long.
